    I had to go back and re-read the caption on slide 6 several times. He's only the 3rd African American senator since reconstruction? That can't be right, dear lord I don't want that to be right. If that's true it's huge that he's become president, but post-racial America, my fanny. Call me when being anything other than a white male isn't note worthy and we'll talk post-racial, post-gender. #barackobamamichelleobama

    I can't get over how much I love this family. Obama may have tip-toed around the question regarding the equality within his marriage (I would too, if posed that question right now, for fear of stepping on my partner's toes) but I still look at them as a model for a good family. Ups and downs, long distance relationships, and they're still together and strong. I just hope it's not some White House image.

    As an aside, this undying adoration for our first family is a huge first for me. I was too young to be overly fond of the Clintons and growing up under G.W. Bush was a constant source of frustration and confusion. It's such a new feeling, but I totally love it.

    Oh and you guys, baby Malia? And Barack's grin? Wins. #barackobamamichelleobama

    I think Michelle has one of those faces where if she's not smiling, she looks pissed. I have that face too. It doesn't help that she's a black woman and people tend to think we look more pissed than most anyway. #barackobamamichelleobama

    @Ulookinatmyjunk, JOC: I have mean face too. Everyone always asks me "what's wrong?" and then I tell them "piss off!!". But seriously, it's annoying to constantly be asked if something is wrong with me - I guess my face is what's wrong with me. #barackobamamichelleobama

    @feministabroad: My theory is the black dog theory...not comparing black folks to animals... go with me here. Okay, so many pet adoption places say that black dogs are harder to adopt out because they come across as "meaner". Even if dogs may come from a "friendly" breed, being black makes them less adoptable. So, they put little bows and kerchiefs on the dogs to make them look less aggressive and angry. I think deep down, there's an accepted perception that dark means sinister, angry, dangerous or violent and people tend to internalize and apply that manner of thinking even when it's not applicable. Sort of like the Time magazine darkening OJ Simpson up...dark=evil. I feel as though I'm expected to positively beam at people all of the time or be barraged by questions of "What's wrong?" or "Who pissed you off?" I've been getting this since I was little and I've been tempted more than once to say, "Dude, this is MY face, jeez! #barackobamamichelleobama

    @Ulookinatmyjunk, JOC: I think you are right - she has a "serious" face when she's not smiling. But here, to me at least, it's her body language more than her face that makes her look angry. Though the photographer could have just caught her while she was turning around, it looks like she just spun around to say, "WHAT?!" #barackobamamichelleobama

    @Kristinkles Ingabogovinanana: I've never understood why people feel as though they have a right to tell you what to do with your face. If you like smiling so much, you do it. Let it be your friggin' umbrella. Also, smiling often encourages creepy dudes to try talking to you. #barackobamamichelleobama

    @Ulookinatmyjunk, JOC: I definitely have one of those "why so serious" faces and it annoys the hell out of me.

    I'm white, and I think that the issues with black faces are not just color and bone structure, but the fact that white people take a serious black face as an accusation or threat, whereas they might see a serious white face as more neutral, and less directed at them personally. A serious white man is thinking about work, while a serious black man is scowling at you because he hates white people. That's my theory anyway. #barackobamamichelleobama

    Ah, yes, the, "you're my husband and I love you but I swear to god if you do that one more time I am going to RIP YOUR HEAD OFF AND FEED IT TO A SQUIRREL" classic.

    My husband tries to hide under things when I give him that look. Probably one of the many reasons he's not president. #barackobamamichelleobama
